79 Animal Rights, Welfare, and Service Organizations Worthy of Your Donations - Blog Entry

I am hoping there is someone out there that can help me and my dog. I have a 6 y.o. [CENSORED]-a-poo (his name if Bear) who has teeth issues (inflamed, red gums and tartar/plaque build-up on most of his teeth). It was only discovered this past summer (2008) by my vet. My vet recommended trying toothpaste and adding tartar remover liquid to his water - neither have helped. I have also added "treats" to his diet that supposedly fight placque. His teeth have not gotten worse, however they have not gotten better either. I know he needs to go to a "Veterinarian Dentist" but I am currently out of work and it is not financially possible for my husband and I to get the required care needed for Bear. We live in PA so I am not sure if there are organizations in my area that may be able to help us. All suggestions welcome. Thank you.
